International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO.OB) to Conduct Experiments to Get Clear View of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

QualityStocks (March 18th, 2010) Writes:

Biotechnology company International Stem Cell Corporation today announced that its Research and Therapeutic Development Group will team up with scientists from the University of California, Irvine to conduct a second phase of preclinical experiments on retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), (in layman’s terms, the colored cell layer of the retina), derived from parthenogenetic stem cells.

RPE is an integral part of proper eye function. The loss of function contributes to a variety of disabling eye conditions, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of vision loss in seniors.

ISCO’s preclinical research will allow scientists to test the restoration ability of the cells affected by retinal degeneration in rodent models. The company said that previous data on animal models showed “encouraging” results, demonstrating that visual degradation caused by AMD can be slowed through RPE transplantation.

In the past, one of the major barriers for transplantation is the lack of sufficient RPE cells

SectorWatch.biz: China’s Exports Rebound Amid New Economic Prominence

Stuart Smith (January 20th, 2010) Writes:

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SectorWatch.biz announces the availability of a commentary of interest to investors in SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. (NYSE Amex:SPU) and other China-related equities making news and driving markets today. Investors can view our free commentaries at: www.SectorWatch.biz – in association with FiSpace.net, a dynamic social networking site for investors.

China’s economic vitality has gained increasing importance globally partly because its growth remained robust even as the world’s developed economies suffered the steepest drop in trade and economic output in decades. Statistics released last week showed that China’s yearlong downturn in export growth reversed in December surging nearly 18% from 2008 – well beyond the median forecast by Dow Jones Newswire’s poll of nine economists. World Bank estimates suggest that China — the world’s fifth-largest economy four years ago — may soon surpass Japan to claim the No. 2 spot.

SectorWatch.biz: Bad Economy Creates Bright Spot for Online Travel

Stuart Smith (January 12th, 2010) Writes:

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 12, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to several recent reports, the current economic downturn is creating a lasting return to online travel sites focused on budget-conscious consumers looking for bargains.

Although overall travel spending contracted with the economy in 2009, a report by Forrester Research indicates that travel spending is expected to rebound starting in 2010 and continue upward through 2013. And online travel may lead the way. Online leisure and business travel spending is expected to increase from 2008 levels of $111 billion to $158 billion by 2013.

This trend bodes well for companies such as Budget Center Inc. (Pink Sheets:BDGN), which has commenced the development of its “budget” category domain network in the online travel and related industries. This includes the development of highly relevant and valuable “budget” brand domains such as budgetairlines.com, budgethotels.com, budgetresorts.com, budgetravel.com, budgetskiing.com, budgetadventures.com, budgetentertainment.com, and budgetcharters.com.
